Dadbod

Good morning everyone,Well, if you've got any plans today, hold off on doing them till a bit later and it'll probably be sunny and warm by then. At the moment, it's raining but it's supposed to clear up by lunchtime. Tomorrow will be a nice day and then we'll see clouds and rain roll in sometime on Monday and continue raining on Tuesday-caused by the typhoon passing south of us. It's a tad early, don't you think?

What is a dadbod you ask and why are those of us with dadbods now suddenly a hot commodity?

The dad bod is a nice balance between a beer gut and working out. The dad bod says, "I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time." It's not an overweight guy, but it isn't one with washboard abs, either.

The dad bod is a new trend. Turns out skipping the gym for a few brews last Thursday after work turned out to be in our favor. While it'd be great to be one of those sculpted guys, apparently there is just something about the dad bod that makes men seem more human, natural, and attractive. And here's why, according to women...From a woman's point of view:

It doesn't intimidate us. Few things are worse than taking a picture in a bathing suit, but one of those things is taking a picture in a bathing suit with a guy who is superfit. We don't want a guy that makes us feel insecure about our body. We are insecure enough as it is. We don't need a perfectly sculpted guy standing next to us to make us feel worse.

We like being the pretty one.We love people saying "they look cute together." But we still like being the center of attention. We want to look skinny and the bigger the guy, the smaller we feel and the better we look next to you in a picture.

Better cuddling. No one wants to cuddle with a rock.

Good eats. The dad bod says he doesn't meal prep every Sunday night so if you want to go to Taco Tuesday or $4 pitcher Wednesday, he'd be totally down. He's not scared of a cheat meal because he eats just about anything and everything.

You know what you're getting. Girls tend to picture their future together with their guys early on. Therefore, if he already has the dad bod going on, we can get used to it before we date him, marry him, have three kids. We know what we are getting into when he's got the same exact body type at the age of 22 that he's going to have at 45.

So there you go. A simple break down of why girls everywhere are going nuts over this body type on males. They like it. They love it. They want some more of it. So here's to us dad bods, keep it up. Men, confidently strut that gut on the beach because while we stare at them in their bikinis they will be staring back at us just as hard.

Reading this made me so happy that I didn't already sign up for 'Raizap'....ha ha!
